2026 Silverton Creates Maker's Market Registration

CALLING ALL ARTISTS, CRAFTSPEOPLE AND MAKERS!

The Silverton Creates Maker’s Market takes place Saturday, September 12 in Memorial Park at the north end of historic downtown Silverton, Colorado. Set at 9,318 feet and surrounded by the San Juan Mountains at the height of fall color season, the event draws both locals and visitors for a vibrant day of art, music, food, and community celebration.

The curated market features a mix of local and regional artists, makers, and craftspeople offering handmade goods, fine art, jewelry, textiles, ceramics, woodwork, and more. Throughout the day, the park comes alive with live music, food trucks, libations, kids activities, and hands-on creative experiences, creating a lively festival atmosphere that encourages visitors to linger, explore, and shop.

Silverton Creates Maker's Market is part of a full weekend of programming that begins with a free outdoor concert on Friday night and concludes Saturday evening with a Season Finale Concert, bringing large crowds into Memorial Park and downtown Silverton throughout the weekend.

For vendors, the Maker’s Market offers a unique opportunity to showcase your work in one of Colorado’s most scenic mountain towns during peak fall colors - where mountains and maker's meet.
